For shooting the swift flying, heavily feathered duck s 
geese the ///ar/£/i 12-gauge repeating shotgun has no superior. 
This gun is exceedingly strong in construction and yet is not heavy. It is 
bored to throw an excellent pattern with great penetration. The solid top 
keeps out the weather and the brush and twigs of the blind, and the side ejector 
prevents the empty shells from being a nuisance to the shooter. It s the best 
bad weather gun. 
The 77Zt Zt/lTl 12-gauge is suited to all forms of bird and trap shooting, 
and for durability, strength and ease of action is unexcelled. Made for both 
black and smokeless powders and for heavy loads . Two separate extractors 
make sure work.

defending club, which is certain to contain boats 
suited to every sort of weather. The challenger 
has consequently very little chance of winning 
except with a superlatively good boat. To re¬ 
vive the old enthusiasm, and if possible to get 
some of the old members to return to the sport, 
the R. C. C. has offered a trophy for interna¬ 
tional competition next summer on salt water. 
Any country or colony may send either one or 
two challengers, and the defending club will 
select one or two defenders as the case may be, 
i. e., if no country sends more than one chal¬ 
lenger then the R. C. C. will only put up one 
canoe to defend, while if any country should 
send two canoes then the R. C. C. will also have 
two defenders. To make it quite fair to all 
countries which may be ignorant of this type 
of boat, the design of this season’s challenge cup 
winner Genetta has been sent to all the clubs 
likely to challenge, with an intimation that they 
may have their boats built by the same English 
builders who have built the most successful ex¬ 
isting boats, and that they will have the use of 
this design and the designer’s supervision dur¬ 
ing construction free of charge. They will also 
be the guests of the club during the race meet, 
and the trophy is to be won outright by the 
canoe winning two out of the three races. 
“This sporting offer of the Royal Canoe Club 
has in less than a month secured challenges from 
Italy, France, Belgium, and Austria; and it is 
hoped that an American or Canadian challenge 
will also be received. As it is, this contest will 
be the most completely international sailing race ■ 
ever held in any country, and should not only 
make canoe sailing again one of the most 
popular forms of the sport, but it should also 
attract a large number of interested spectators 
from all branches of sailing men.’’
